From beautiful sunrises to surreal double rainbows, Singapore has seen her fair share of celestial spectacles of late.
As we embark on the 2nd week of Phase 1 of reopening on Monday (8 Jun), Singaporeans across the island were treated to a gorgeous lavender sunset as the day came to an end.
A resident from Choa Chu Kang bore witness to this pastel pink sunset at around 6.40pm and almost mistook it for a pink Instagram filter.
The ‘display’ only got better minutes later, as the clouds parted to reveal the shy sun just as it was preparing to call it a day.
One netizen shared pictures of crimson skies serving as the backdrop for a petrol station in Punggol. The unobstructed vision – akin to those taken in sprawling suburban areas overseas – is a refreshing sight to see in our densely-packed country.
Another Facebook user shared a picture of this vermilion cloud that resembled a heart, which seems like heaven’s way of spurring us on during these difficult times.
But the workers working in the Downtown area probably witnessed the most breathtaking sight yet.
As the building lights came on in the evening, Mother Nature put up a light display of her own too, providing onlookers with an Insta-worthy scenery for their feeds.
The clear waters of Marina Bay served as the perfect mirror, reflecting the soft ethereal glow painted across the sky.
While the ‘Circuit Breaker’ might be behind us now, the tough times are expected to last for quite some time still.
That said, we hope there’ll continue to be similar celestial spectacles to accompany us through our nation’s gradual reopening.
